covering crusty damp earth

   Gazing at her reflection

Hannibal Lecter
remains for so many a most ghoulish specter
eat out at your peril
already he's asked you confirm you are sterile....

Like a specter of lost love
You'd hug if you could;
Even if you died for her,
She'd still be indifferent...

all-seeing specter
with 360 degree vision

Spring is approaching
Its specter dances in air
Flowers will bloom beautifully
And Earth will be young once more
Enhanced by rainbows

Obsidian velvet
Parts the leaves;
Silent paws impress
The land and in
Moonlit shadows;
A great specter hides.
In one swift flash
Of light and shadow-play,
Panther takes his prey.

each day
I pass among you
a specter
blending into shadow and shade
never meeting or speaking

yet we are
one in same
touching earth
as we circle
under the glow
of the golden sphere
in circuit about its orb...

The house feels hollow,
The only sound: my footsteps –
You took the laughter with you.
Minutes drip slowly –
The specter of loneliness
Stares at me with greedy eyes.

The summer specter like wild parrots squawked,
in piercing jade abandon did it fly.
Through rampant trees of emerald we stalked
the sun's medallion in a cyan sky.

spots of ink in sky
a specter of nature shape
if you look, you'll see

cool breeze at the shore
under the cold blue veneer
small gravel tremble

gloss black of crow wings
sparkling as the midday light
walk proudly up grass

lies specter dust that rises
 crystalline form such

 glistening drops rain
frozen rainfalls snowflake falls
 dissipates waters

 collectively dust
 frozen drops of rain falling 
to the ground falls snow

A chromatically colored specter
in flight, lands upon bluebells
in the garden; a statuesque palette
drinks the nectar from flowers;
collects pollens for crafting
her own gardens nearby.
The delight of a stained glass winged
butterfly, is ever profound;
nature’s sweet gifts of grace.

I sense our heart’s waning passion
Though we sealed it in a ring
The love we both share
In its gold we engraved
“Always and Forever”
Whose luster still remains

But look on our feeling
It’s no longer reigning 
Only a cold dull specter 
Of once heated past
We’re defeated by a ring
Whose luster still remains...
